Vogel Crystals are traditionally Quartz crystals that have been cut with a specific number of sides and angles according to the discoveries and teachings of Marcel Vogel (1917 to 1991).

For many years, Vogel was a research scientist with IBM, before becoming very interested in Quartz crystals. The Vogel cut is designed to work with, and improve, that natural ability of Quartz to receive, transmit, amplify and focus energy. It is based on the Tree of Life pattern, which, it is said, came to him in a vision.

The original Vogel Crystals were all clear Quartz. Nowadays they are also found in coloured Quartz such as Smoky Quartz or Citrine and here is a lovely example of a Fluorite Vogel.

Fluorite calms and settles the mind and is good for meditation, spiritual growth and increased psychic awareness. It cleanses the aura and gives protection by clearing negative thought patterns and transmuting all negative energies. It can bring a little distance in times when emotions overwhelm us, so that we can see both what needs to be done and what needs to be healed. It is also excellent for concentration and focus, and is an excellent gift for students.

Fluorite can be used to help with the electromagnetic disturbance from computers, microwaves, and other devices.

Fluorite occurs in many colours; all fluorites share the above properties, but each colour emphasises certain characteristics.

Smoky fluorite is particularly good for the cleansing and protective aspects, and, apart from the very rare black variety, is the most grounding of the flourites.

Golden/Yellow fluorite is inspiring and creative, opening our minds to greater possibilities that are aligned with spirit.

Green fluorite is cleansing and healing to emotions and mind, and brings these two aspects into harmony within us.

Blue Fluorite is calm, peaceful and serene. It is good for ordered thinking and prioritising goals.

Purple Fluorite is good for purification of the mind, enhancing spiritual connection and meditation. It is an excellent transformer of energy and can transmute negative thoughts and attitudes within, as well as external negative energy in our environment.

Lavender Fluorite is peaceful and calming, and connects us with divine inspiration and bliss.

White/Clear Fluorite is clearing and cleansing for the aura and aligns us with our spiritual purpose.

Rainbow Fluorite combines all colours and is clearing, cleansing and harmonising on all levels of being, bringing order where there is chaos. Try placing a stone on each of the chakras.

Flower Fluorite is a gentle purple, lavender and cream/white stone. It is soothing and gently supportive, and good in times of stress.
